CD of the Week
"... Davis and the LSO triumph in this recording In this gripping performance, it [Symphony No 6] emerges as one of the 20th century’s most beguilingly original works"

The Sunday Times

"... Those who enjoyed the first issue in this Nielsen cycle will certainly not be disappointed with this one. One eagerly awaits Davis’s accounts of Symphonies 2 & 3 that are due to be issued later this year Davis brings a prodigious amount of bracing energy both to the symphony’s [Symphony No 1] Scherzo and the Finale, whose triumphnt C major endling could hardly be delivered with more exhilaration Colin Davis and the LSO rise to the challenge of this strange and puzzling symphony [Symphony No 6] with a convincingly thoughtful performance."

SA-CD.net (UK)

"... Sir Colin Davis and the SO do both pieces proud, which has been captured in vivid and tangible sound..."

Time Out (UK)

"... This second CD lives up to the high standard set by its predecessor."
